i liked javi getting clotheslined before costner was called on the intentional

Why the fuck can't something be done about this?

If Duke/UNC are so good why can't they win without getting help?

I liked it better when just UNC got the calls, what connections does K have to get them besides his cussing and stare?

at least costner got his money's worth on his "intentional" foul.

looked like a hard, but legitimate foul to me.

it was intentional. i was right there. im glad he did it though. he was gettin javi's back from the flagrant clothesline that wasn't called

3/2/2008 1:02:12 AM

that thought crossed my mind.

on tv though it looked like he just missed an arm and got too close to his head.

^^^^ it seems like Duke/UNC have always gotten the calls. See the UNC comeback yesterday at Boston COllege. I agree that there should be an investigation into it, but we all know that is not going to happen.

It's like the refs in both games knew they had to let both Duke and UNC win so they will be playing for 1st place in the ACC next weekend. It's really disconcerting how blatant the bad calls have been this year.

The foul called on us yesterday is still driving me crazy. It seems we were cheated out of destiny or something. It just blows my mind. These people are payed to officiate these games well and it's apparently never happened.

i still can't believe the step back 3 pointer nelson hit.

that was utter bullshit. you can't catch a pass and take 2 steps without putting the ball on the floor. how the fuck can you get away with that. unfuckingbelievable

^Yeah that was about as bad as Georgia Tech's guy I think DeAndre Bell dunking it after taking at least 3 and almost 4 steps from the 3-point line. We should all write to ESPN and tell them about the officiating between these two schools but as much as they love UNC/Duke I doubt they would care.

From page 1:

Quote :

"I don't know. Last week I caught myself thinking the following: Duke v. UNC on Wednesday. Both are ranked in the top 5. The powers that be absolutely, positively, do not want either team to lose any of their games in the days leading up to that contest. If they both win out leading up to "the greatest rivalry" you are looking at two teams with one loss each. Ratings. Now imagine if either team (or both) drop a couple of games leading up to that Wednesday. Suddenly the game doesn't have quite as much as an advertising draw across the nation. Less revenue."

Change the loss total a bit and it still applies.

well Florida State is getting jobbed real nice. Did anyone else see the refs tell Hansborough to take it easy DURING THE PLAY when he was guarding that FSU player at the top of the key? That is so fucked up, it's either a foul or not, let Roy Williams coach the fucking team. It is an unfair advantage if you are telling the players I'm about to call a foul if you continue to do that.

^have you played sports? It's not uncommon for good refs to give warnings on borderline play.

3/14/2008 12:46:25 PM

^ I haven't played ACC basketball, I've watched many games though and I don't think I've ever seen/heard this happen DURING a play. Between plays yes.

3/14/2008 1:32:38 PM

well, tOSU just got screwed

3/14/2008 3:19:11 PM

UNC down by 3 right now with around 6 minutes to play ... you can lock this thread if they (UNC) lose.

3/15/2008 2:10:01 PM

in after the jinx

3/15/2008 2:15:19 PM

in before the fix

it's coming, don't worry

3/15/2008 2:16:07 PM

refs fucked up that out of bounds call and missed the foul before it.

3/15/2008 2:17:57 PM

and the thread remains
